Description

Zusammenfassung Drawing on research among Luo people in western Kenya and abroad, this book examines how Luo assess obligations to intimates and strangers, including the dead and the not-yet-born. It focuses on nonmonetary forms of exchange and entrustment, moving beyond anthropology's traditional understanding of gifts, loans, and reciprocity.
